Always Preparing the Way

Hey
everybody!

This week
went really fast! Something cool as well, next week on the 23rd of January we
are going to fly to Bogota again. We have some sort of big training that will
be going on. Then we get back on Thursday the 26th.

But this
week was kinda rough for teaching, we didn’t get to have a whole lot of the
appointments we were hoping for. But, the great thing was that we could already
fill up pretty much every day this week with work to do, so I’m sure it will go
much better this week.

Update on
the Casado family: We have been working with Antonio, and he seemed pretty
good. We taught the family on Wednesday about Temples and Eternal families. We
went to go visit them again on Friday, but Antonio didn’t get home until late. Unfortunately
he didn’t get home because his friends had invited him to drink and he went
with them an drank. So we have a lot more work to do. We are really focusing on
helping him not feel judged by us, the members, or his family and showing him
more support and more love. We are going to do all we can to show our love for
Antonio so that he is able to quit drinking.

We have
really been struggling with finding lately in these past couple weeks, but we
have some great families that we have found or are working with now. We have
one family called the Rodrigues Calderon Family, and they are awesome. They are
a family of 6, and they are all excited about the gospel. We are just waiting
and working on getting the parents married and they are pretty much ready for
baptism. They showed up to church this Sunday even though it was a little
late.

Well
although this week was a little rough, we have lots of good things to look
forward too. Loreilly the daughter of the Casado family also is getting ready
for baptism, she just needs to attend church one more time!

That was
pretty much it for this week, I have seen and felt and learned a lot this week
about the Love of the Savior that he has for each one of us. I have really
gotten to know that He lives and He knows who I am. And I’m loving the time
here in Leticia.
